Around Azeroth: Gnome punting 101
This unfortunate gnome is about to be kicked down the hallway by submitter Dajiik of <Axeholes> on Aegwynn (US-A), who somehow gets away with that guild name. We can only hope that like in the comic strip Peanuts, there's a little girl waiting offscreen to pull the gnome away from Dajiik before someone gets seriously injured.

Why yalls "tall folk" hating on gnomes?
Scort Nov 20th 2010 10:28AM
I've always wanted to know that.
Why punt gnomes? What did we ever do to you?

We don't *hate* gnomes, per se... it's just that the sight of one stirs up an uncontrollable compulsion to kick in at least 95% of people. Kinda like how people just HAVE to kill Gamon whenever he's up in Orgrimmar even though the majority of those people actually love Tauren.

I for one dislike gnomes because (same as with porcelain dolls) they give me the creeps, and they also a bit of revulsion, I dont know why but they seem dead cold and frivolous, however I do like Undead, so the only thing I can say for sure is that they give me the creeps, and I we have also discussed this on our guild and about 2/5 people also find them to be creepy...

"and they also a bit of revulsion" that should read "and also a bit of revulsion", I really wish we could edit comments, lol

Gnome punting is about as funny as Chuck Norris jokes or any other overused and tired meme.
/youtube LEAVE GNOMES ALONE!
See what I mean?

Thank you! Oh! Thank you! I can hardly believe this! I feel so blessed! And this statue - it's so suspiciously phallic!
Oh, thank you again! I just want everyone to know that even in my wildest fits of self-loathing, I never would have imagined that this could ever validate my mediocrity. And to the other brilliant nominees, I want each of you to know how totally vindicated your fake smiles makes me feel right now!
You know when they first told me I was nominated, I just had to take a minute and think about how great my experiences have been. I guess it all just makes me feel kinda special
You know, there are so many two-bit hack posters to thank! First off though, I want to thank the glorified prostitutes of the Academy, who looked deep within their lint-encrusted navels before giving me this fantastic award! Also, I want to thank Ghostcrawler, for being such a powerful force in my life. And to the hooker with the heart of gold, who taught me to take life by the balls. And finally, to all the producers I slept with - I couldn't have done it without you!
Thank you WoW Insider, and good night!

I typhooned a gnome off lumbermill today. Does that count?

@John
Are you saying you delivered a low blow?
Harmeister Nov 20th 2010 2:15PM
@rubitard
well, for a gnome, it would be eye-level-ish. Maybe even above their heads...

What about the hogger meme?

Obviously that night elf just wants a hug.
No Quarter Nov 20th 2010 10:47AM
And by hug I mean sexy time.

Gnome punting jokes are more stale than even Chuck Norris jokes.
Wolftech Nov 20th 2010 10:47AM
What that picture didn't show was the gnome sheeping the night elf and leaving him in a room with a dozen lonely Scotsmen and a case of single malt.
Punt us at your peril. You have been warned.
